MIDEL Storage & Handling Guides for Natural and Synthetic Esters

Midel eN 1204 and MIDEL 7131 are robust ester fluids. Studies have demonstrated their long term stability, even at elevated temperatures. They have been successfully used worldwide, and are recommended in transformer systems.

As with all dielectric liquids, it is necessary to take precautions when handling and storing MIDEL fluids to ensure that they are kept in optimum condition.

What is covered in the guides?
